I've been tagged

I've been tagged.........

"Once you have been tagged, you have to write a blog with 5 facts about yourself. Then choose 5 people you want to tag and list their names. Then leave a comment on their blog letting them know they’ve been tagged."

Five things about me:

I met my husband on the internet! In a Yahoo! chatroom to be exact, back in November 2001. I moved up here in June 2002 and the rest, as they say, is history!

I've been on Radio 1's Jo Whiley show twice, both times on 'I want your text'. The first time I was crap and won nothing, the second time I won some cd's and a framed, signed artwork from the Chemical Brothers which hung at the top of our stairs in our last house, but hasn't found a home in this house yet.

My second son Leo was named so because whilst pregnant I had a bit of a thing for watching 'Charmed' reruns on Living tv, and I thought the name of the whitelighter 'Leo' was a really lovely name. We picked Leo once we knew he was a boy pretty much. Unfortunately, the week he was born Leo Sayer was having a bit of a come back with a remixed song and so everyone asked if he was named after him. As if!!! His middle name (James) was picked by number one son (Thomas) who thought James was a much better engine than Edward which was the other name on the table.

At this precise moment my husband and I are skeining yarn whilst watching this interesting new thing where they sign music videos on all the major music channels after silly hours in the morning. We're seeing if we can guess which person will be signing the next song, the person signing 'Enter Sandman' was something to behold!

My brown tabby cat is named after a character in the brilliant film 'Clerks' which a friend introduced me to last year. He's called Dante, which makes people automatically assume he's named for the inferno chap making me oh so intelligent, when really my imagination stretches not much further than the dvd player.

I tag - Anna, Andrea, Flossie, Sarah & Joelle
